Yale Developmental Electrophysiology Laboratory uses eye tracking from Smart Eye
The Developmental Psychophysiology Laboratory at Yale School of Medicine is a state-of-the-art shared resource available to investigators for basic experimental studies and clinical trials.
The Developmental Psychophysiology Laboratory serves as a nexus of interdepartmental collaboration and opportunities for faculty and students at all levels. These include studies with four research groups in the Child Study Center (CSC) as well as investigators from the departments of diagnostic radiology, surgery, pediatrics and psychiatry from the Yale School of Medicine and from the Haskins Laboratories.
The facility is a developmental laboratory, designed for, and experienced with typical and atypical populations from infancy through later adulthood. The lab is equipped to study brain electrical responses and peripheral psychophysiologial indices of cognition, emotion and arousal. At the core of this resource are two stationary high-density EEG systems from EGI. A third portable dense array system is available for off-site studies. Brain source analysis and fMRI co-registration are accomplished by way of a photogrammetry system that builds 3-dimensional head models for improved cortical source mapping. Integrated with EEG assessment, the DEL has peripheral psychophysiologial measurement including heart rate, skin conductance, facial EMG, eye-blink startle and Eye Tracking from Smart Eye.
